The Department of the Attorney General and Justice is currently working on a proposal to amend section 19 of the Evidence (National Uniform Legislation) Act to ensure that a victim of an offence involving domestic violence is compellable as a witness and cannot object to giving evidence under section 18 of the Evidence (National Uniform Legislation) Act.

You are invited to provide comments on both the Consultation Bill and the proposed risk management strategy to the Department of the Attorney General and Justice. Comments can be as short or informal as an email or letter, or can be a more substantial document. Comments do not have to address all aspects of the Consultation Bill.
